Work Experience
2/2008 to 7/2009 Controller - Innergy Power Division, Ecotality, Inc.
Innergy Power is a manufacturer of renewable energy off-grid Solar Panels
and rechargeable Lead Oxide Batteries. I am responsible for all Financial
reporting, budgets analysis and consolidations. I provide product line
margin analysis, perform quote reviews and maximize cash flow. For our
manufacturing operations, I provided WIP shop floor reporting systems,
inventory control and cost analysis. As a direct result of these functions,
we identified cost reductions that yielded increased margins. I initially
joined the company in anticipation of a Joint Venture that would have
generated revenues of $75M. The joint venture did not materialize and I was
recently layed off due to downsizing.
2004 - 2008 Controller - Best RV, Inc.
Best RV is a tier 1 supplier to the RV Industry manufacturing cabinet doors
and other various fabric accessories. The company has a manufacturing plant
in Southern California and 2 facilities in Mexico. I was responsible for
all financial reporting but my main focus became the Mexico operations. I
significantly improved plant through put and production efficiencies by
restructuring the WIP work flow and installing timely and accurate shop
floor reporting. This along with systems to measure scrap and utilization
had a direct impact on product margins and improved quality and delivery.
Best RV had revenues of approx. $60M and 175 employees.
9/1999 - 2004 Controller - SKD Automotive
SKD is primarily a metal stamping/weld & assembly operation and Tier 1
supplier to the Auto Industry. I was responsible for all financial
reporting, budgeting, costing, variance analysis and cash management.
Truly, the internal financial consultant.
The first year I served as Controller of U.S. operations which encompassed
3 plant sites, approx. $100M sales volume and 500 employees.
Then I spent 4 years as Controller of our Mexico City plant which has
struggled with integrity and lack of profitability for many years. The
location is now a success story with a bright future.
Performed an internal audit, identified necessary adjustments and
Implemented strong internal controls and analysis tools to assure timely
and accurate reporting.
Implemented departmental budgets and trained management with a good
understanding of spending limits.
Improved shop floor reporting to provide valuable downtime and efficiency
analysis.
Provided capacity reports and Construction in Progress systems to manage
significant growth opportunities.
Reduced staff by 8 people and month end close down to third workday.
9/1992 - 9/1999 Controller - Lear Corporation
Lear Corporation is a World Wide Seating and Interior Trim Supplier to the
Auto Industry.
The first 4 years I served as Controller of the Marshall Michigan Plant.
This location doubled in size virtually overnight and became a very
successful division for the group.
Due to its success, I was given an Ex Patriot assignment as Finance
Director - Interior Systems Group, Trim Division - United Kingdom. This UK
division had 4 plant locations and had been struggling financially for many
years. The company lacked confidence in the financial reporting. By
installing some common sense measurables, I helped both employees within
each plant as well as U.S. corporate leaders, to understand some inherent
reporting problems and gain confidence with improved performance.
I successfully completed the 2 year overseas tour and was assigned to
Controller to the Grand Rapids, Michigan plant. This plant was the largest
location of Lear's acquisition of the seating division of Delphi Automotive
Group from General Motors. Sales volume approx. $300M; 1,500 employees.
After 1 year of this interesting assignment, I was offered an attractive
opportunity within another division of Lear but the move was denied by
Corporate. I believe the company wanted to continue to utilize my problem
solving skills while I was ready for a more stable environment. At this
point I sadly left Lear to join SKD Automotive.
Other Previous Experience
Triple S Plastics, Inc. - Controller 5 years
Price Waterhouse - 3 years Audit; 1 year tax
Education
Western Michigan University, B.B.A., Accounting Major; General Business
Minor
